We collect personal information you provide directly or indirectly to us, such as when you create or modify your account, request services, redeem your rewards, contact user support, or otherwise communicate with us. This information may include: name, email, location, age, gender, social media profiles, phone number, and birth date.

The type of information we collect relates to: i) achievements that are unlocked, ii) in-game purchases, iii) other apps on your device, iv) the time you spend playing games, v) the Stardust you’ve earned in Cosmic Rewards, and vi) the game experience earned (collectively “User Gaming Profile”). A User Gaming Profile is used to optimize each User’s experience by suggesting new games you may love based on past activity.

Like many online services, we use cookies and similar technologies to facilitate some of the automatic data collection described above, such as:

• Software development kits, or SDKs, are third-party computer codes used in connection with our App for a variety of purposes, including to provide us with analytics regarding the use of our App, to add features or functionality to our App, or to facilitate online advertising. SDKs may enable third parties to collect information directly via our App.

‍YOUR CHOICES 

You have the following choices regarding your personal information:

• Modifications to Your Personal Information. It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes. If our platform does not permit you to update or correct certain personal information, please make requests by writing to privacy@cosmicrewards.com.  

• Delete Your Account. You may also ask us to delete your account by contacting us as provided below. By deleting your account, however, any rewards or Stardust that you have earned and not redeemed will be deleted. Please note that we may send you an email requesting your confirmation before we delete your account.

• Unsubscribe from Marketing Emails. You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us by following the instructions (unsubscribe mechanism) in those messages. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, about Services you have requested, or our ongoing business relations.

• App Push Notifications. Upon download of the mobile application, you were provided the option to opt-in to receiving notifications that may include alerts, sounds, and icon badges. Push notifications can be configured in settings on your mobile device. 

• Cookies. Most browsers let you remove and/or stop accepting cookies from the websites you visit. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser’s settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all functionality of our Site. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your browser and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. 

• Advertising. You can limit the use of your information for behavioral-based advertising by blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings, using browser plug-ins/extensions, and/or using your mobile device settings to limit the use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device. You can also opt out of receiving targeted advertising from companies participating in the following industry opt-out programs by visiting the linked websites: the Network Advertising Initiative (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://optout.aboutads.info). Users of our mobile applications may opt out of receiving targeted advertising in mobile apps through participating members of the Digital Advertising Alliance by installing the AppChoices mobile app, available here, and selecting the user’s choices. Some of the companies we work with may offer their own opt-out mechanisms. For example, you can learn more about how Google uses cookies for advertising purposes by clicking here and opt-out of ad personalization by Google by clicking here. 

Many of the opt-out preferences described in this section must be set on each device and/or browser for which you want them to apply. Please note that some of the advertising companies we work with may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms described above, so even after opting-out, you may still receive interest-based advertisements from other companies. If you opt-out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may be less relevant to you.

• Analytics. We use Google Analytics to help us analyze how the Site is being accessed and used. You can learn more about Google Analytics cookies by clicking here and about how Google protects your data by clicking here. To opt-out of Google Analytics, you can download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available here.

• Browser “Do Not Track” Signals. Most browsers contain a “do-not-track” setting. In general, when a “do-not-track” setting is active, the user’s browser notifies websites that the user does not want their personal information and online behavior to be tracked and used, for example, for interest-based advertising. While using Cosmic Rewards, you will briefly be taken to a mobile web page that will not recognize or honor any “do not track” setting on the mobile browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
